長距離海中レーザー測距評価機の開発

抄録

JAMSTEC has been developing an underwater laser scanner for some time. The specifications are intended to partially complement the performance of sonar technology and camera technology. In addition to sonar technology that is effective for wide-area exploration from a long distance and camera technology that is effective for narrow-area exploration from a short distance, it will be a new exploration technology that contributes to middle-range exploration from a medium distance. The purpose of this research is to further expand the middle-range exploration capability from the medium distance, and to construct an advanced long-range underwater laser scanner that is more practical and provides an overwhelming amount of information. We are now developing a laser ranging evaluation system to acquire and evaluate the basic data. This paper gives an overview of the evaluation system.
